NAME
       XmTextGetBaseline -- A Text function that accesses the y position of the baseline

SYNOPSIS
       #include <Xm/Text.h>
       int XmTextGetBaseline(
       Widget widget);

DESCRIPTION
       XmTextGetBaseline accesses the y position of the baseline in the Text widget, relative to the y position of the top of the widget.

       In vertical mode (when the XmNlayoutDirection resource is XmTOP_TO_BOTTOM) this function returns 0 and the program should use XmTextGetCen-
       terline

       widget	 Specifies the Text widget ID

       For a complete definition of Text and its associated resources, see XmText(3).

RETURN
       Returns an integer value that indicates the y position of the baseline in the Text widget.  The calculation takes into account  the  margin
       height, shadow thickness, highlight thickness, and font ascent of the first font (set) in the fontlist used for drawing text.  In this cal-
       culation, the y position of the top of the widget is 0 (zero).
